Center

I'm hoping admin doesn't shoot me with this entry. Not sure the gallery was designed to handle this kind of abuse...grin. But I wanted to illustrate my quilt-as-you-go technique. It's not the traditional approach you see when searching the internet.

Basically I started with two blocks in the center. Then I quilt, Then add a round, then quilt, etc. On this one I have three more rounds before I'm done. These rounds are a variety of things...have to keep me motivated. The center blocks are traditional Navajo blocks (hence the name). The next round of blocks were paper pieced. My first ever project paper piecing. I must admit that once my befuddled mind grasped the concept, I began to save time (not so much ripping....lol) and I really enjoyed it. Then a small thin strip border and at the moment my last round is the Navajo block. You'll have to stay tuned for the remaining blocks. I'll keep adding to this post as it grows...

The finished quilt

Here's the t-shirt quilt I discussed on another post.

This quilt uses the traditional quilt-as-you-go approach where the squares are quilted and then assembled into a quilt. Frankly, it's not one of my favorite techniques but for several reasons was the best approach for this quilt. My sister asked me to make this quilt for her daughter for her high school graduation. My niece played softball througout grammar, middle, and high school and as a result, had quite a collection of team t-shirts. However, she's a tiny thing and the sizes of those shirts varied widely. So, I had to improvise...would have been much easier to do this for a football player!

To stop the tshirt fabric from stretching, I ironed each onto fusible light-weight interfacing. For the backing I chose to use different color blender fabrics for interest. I outlined qulted all the logos and any graphics on each shirt. Then I assembled into rows using the sashing strip method.

Postcards - these are fun to do and receive.

I used my embroidery machine to do some designs on a quilt. But, I always do one first to make sure it will work and I like it. At quilt guild everyone was doing these postcards. So I got thinking that the design that I did as a test for the quilt, I could make postcards with them. I did buy a book, because I wasn’t sure how to do this.

I have mailed several off to friends, and I have received some. They are great fun to get in the mail.

I think this is the book I used. My books are downstairs in my sewing room, and until my cast comes off, my foot. I can't get down there very easily. Tomorrow, hopefully it will come off.

The picture of the quilt is in my profile called "Floral Flower Garden". I'm working on the hand quilting of it, put with the summer it is hard to have this on top of you. When it gets cooler outside it will get done.

flannel baby quilt

This is a flannel baby quilt, that I did for my daughters best friend that had a little boy. I found this flannel panel on one of my road trips with my quilting friends to quilt shops. It is so cute. All I did was put the right sides together of the flannel, spray basted with temporary basting to lay the batting, sewed around the quilt with about a 10 inch. opening, then turned it so the the right side was on the outside. Then you sew up the opening. Iron, machine quilt and you are done. No binding, which I think is better for a little baby. When I do this all the mothers love it. Great to put down on the ground for the baby to lay on, or when it is winter to cover up the baby to go from car to house, etc. A fast and quick gift.

More "needle stars" , if you take a close look these are not the stack n whack technique. This is done with fuzzy cuts, they are a lot of fun to do. I took a couple week long classes with Paula Nadelstern. This is what I really enjoy doing.

My quilting bag that I made to hold whatever quilt that I'm working on handquilting. The quilt can breath, but it is lined with a canvas material to protect it from any damage that may get in it's way. This is large to hold the quilt, my hand quilting stencils and any other supplies I need to work on the quilt. I can just grab this and take with me at any time. I did a crazy quilt design on it to use up some of my extra material. It has a large zipper on the top to make it easy to get things in and out of it. I did put one large pocket on the inside of it.

www.artworkshops.com This is a bed and breakfast that you can go for quilting classes. They also have art classes, etc. I went about 2 years ago, to take a class from Paula Nadelstern. It was great fun, the rooms and area are beautiful. A great room to have the class in, lots of light. This was the best place I ever took a class from. The food is out of this world, you will gain weight here. Fresh homemade cookies right from the oven for snack in the afternoon. This is near Albany, NY.

I went to this Quilting by the Lake, which there is no lake, because they moved locations. There are alot of classes more on the arts then tradional. It is great and a lot of fun. You can go for 2 days or 2 weeks in the summer. I meet a lot of great people here and learned more than I could ever tell you about. This maybe something to look into.

Section Of Funeral Tent of An Egyptian Queen

THE origin of the domestic arts of all nations is shrouded in mystery. Since accurate dates cannot be obtained, traditional accounts must be accepted. The folklore of any country is always exceedingly interesting and generally has a few kernels of fact imbedded somewhere in its flowers of legend, although some of our most familiar household objects are not even mentioned by tradition. Spinning and weaving, however, are very generously treated in the mythology and folklore of all nations. Nearly every race has some legend in which claim is made to the discovery of these twin arts.

Democratic Donkey quilt,1936 Anonymous gift Cotton, 84 x 75 inches

In the 1936 Presidential election, Americans reelected FDR to a second term. This quilt commemorates the President's landslide victory over his opponent, Republican Alfred M. Landon of Kansas. Embroidered on the stars are the names of the 48 states and the number of electoral votes each cast. The total number won by the President is embroidered in the center, while the number won by Landon appears in the bottom border, between the stars for the only two states that went Republican.

Help - any ideas how to put together as a quilt

I think I may have a few more kaleidoscope & needle star blocks done, I'll look and then take those pictures. As you can see from the blocks that I have in my profile, that I have made several blocks. Now, how to get them in one quilt top? I don't want to put them in rolls with slashing. I will like to come up with something that also has symmetry or kaleidoscropes in them. When I get my cast off my foot this is the first project I would like to complete. Does anyone have any ideas? I do have to get a picture of one more kaleidoscopes, that I have done. I would like any ideas. What I am thinking is to have the large kaleidoscopes in the center with the needles stars & smaller kaleidocopes around them. Making look like they are floating, with a great border of some kind. Any ideas?

Sewing area

This is my own area of my home. It is a room above the garage that my DH and I built. These photos are taken without the lights because the power was out at the time I took them. They show that the room has a lot of natural light on sunny days. There are two lazyboy chairs, a wood stove, television and stereo on the other side of the room. In the middle of the room is a pool table that doubles as a place to lay out my quilts. It is a very comfortable room that I can spend the entire day in when I get the urge to quilt. It even has a refrigerator, microwave and bathroom. It is my home away from home!

The best room in the house. My sewing room is in a walk-out basement that my husband finished after we moved in over 6 years ago. I got the area with the windows for alot of light. He made me a large flannel board to hold my work in progress on. The tables are inexpense office room furniture. We did buy the large sewing cabinet so I could machine quilt with alot of room. He built some of the other storage cabinets.
